As an architect herself, Roz Barr keeps everything in mind, and plans out all the details that go into each room. This also includes the bathroom. Finding it very important to have control on how you can relax, and discovering your place, is just as important as the toilet and sink itself. To feel relaxed and be free from the stress of the world around you, and being allowed to do your business at your own pace.

On 2 March 2017Adam Scotttook his audience on a journey to a number of eye-widening Experience Masterplans - say what?! Well watch this PechaKucha and let Adam tell you; to Adam "a great Experience Masterplan starts with an Experience Vision; a rallying cry, a guiding story which describes how your place, your brand, your building, your city will reach out and connect to its most critical stakeholders".

In this extra special PechaKucha given to announce the location and concept of Japan House London on 22 May 2017, Hiroyuki Isobe, unveils the design for the interior of Japan House, and what a wonder it is!

Located in the heart of central London, the aim is of Japan House is to be a living window into Japan’s culture of excellence and beauty expressed through its traditions, modernity and appetite for the new.

Dr Farnaz Nickpour is an inclusive designer, an associate professor in Design & Human-centred Innovation at University of Liverpool, and director of the Inclusive Design Research Group (IDRG) in the UK. Farnaz gave this PechaKucha at Vol.16 in London and challenged the audience to reconsider how they approach design and raised the critical question - who will use your designs and how will they use them? Are we designing for ourselves or for others? And how well do we know those ‘others’?

Designers shouldn't just work on assumptions! We need information and empathy.

Farnaz explores some wonderful new ideas for inclusive design such as an evolvable modular walking aid kit, easy to use and clean commodes for NHS to assist patients using the bathroom, and a bio-reactive food packaging solution inspired by the blind users.

ArchiAid was formed soon after the devastating events of 3/11 in Japan. Many of Japan's leading architects joined forces with students of architecture to help design and rebuild some of the hardest hit coastal areas.

One for kids, where they made and presented their 20x20s in an open workshop. The other for 'grown-ups' was part of Roppongi Art Night, and featured an inspiring lineup of design talent.

Penticton's second Pecha Kucha night was a great success! &nbsp;We had a great turn out which, for a small city, attests to the appeal of the Pecha Kucha format.
The presentations covered a diverse range of subjects by some really amazing people. &nbsp;Austin Hawkins spoke of his personal journey and vision as an architect in a way that made you see what his heart truly desires from his own practice. &nbsp;Michele Johnson shared the conception and successful launch of the language revitalization school for the Indigenous Okanagan People. &nbsp;Peter Wolf gave an emotive and insightful journey of his meditative growth over 1 year constructing a house designed by Landform Architects. &nbsp;Emily Elizabeth shared beautiful images that inspired the guests and explained some of the creative process involved in making her amazing beautiful jewelry pieces. &nbsp;
To wrap it up Vince Freeborn celebrated the first year anniversary of his email journal The High Scribe. &nbsp;As always, Vince made the crowd laugh and the High Scribe experience was made complete with a sticker book of his 20 x 20 Pecha Kucha slides! &nbsp;It was a brilliant idea and had our guests greedily grabbing and trading stickers to be the first to fill up their books! &nbsp;
Unfortunately I did not record the presentations correctly so once I reformat them I will post them for you to watch.
We have already filled up the next roster for the January 2016 Pecha Kucha night! &nbsp;That is how inspiring these nights are! &nbsp;
Check out Vince Freeborn's sticker book here. &nbsp;If you like his drawings and want to see more go to www.thehighscribe.com and get subbed up! &nbsp;In my opinion it is one of the best newsletters out there.
